Spell it like you mean it

Why is it that a spelling bee makes it to prime time and waterskiing is restricted to (at best) the ION Life network that is shown in about 14 houses across the US.

*note the state name is missspelled* (well played Scripps)

Or ESPN shows hours of poker instead of actual sports. (someone needs to explain to them that their name says they are a SPORTS NETWORK!!!!)

OR FISHING, REALLY...FREAKING FISHING...AND YOU CAN'T THROW WATERSKIING A BONE AND GIVE US 30 MINS AT 3 AM???

Well actually it might be on then, but I would never know as by 3 AM I way to busy sleeping* and dreaming sweet dreams**.
